The kids will go to day care. Ideally, one or both of us will be able to telecommute once a week so junior isn't totally being raised by strangers - but I flat out refuse to be a SAHM.

Congratulations. I wish you well on your career.
My wife graduated Cum Laude from college and later sat on the board of directors of an international volunteer organization with chapters in 81 countries, and now runs her own very successful business.
She chose to stay at home with our kids, as her mother, who is also a college graduate chose to stay home with her. In retrospect, I applaud that, but I didn't necessarily agree at the time.
I think they would be highly offended at the insinuation that there's anything wrong with a "SAHM."
By the way, many high schools and the Red Cross have courses to "certify" people as babysitters.
Finally, I have to point out again that this mother was BEGINNING the party at 3:00 AM, not staying out until then. That's no way to take care of a baby.
